Would you be willing to do something with more crossover appeal that wouldn’t necessarily speak to you normally in hopes of bringing new fans to your older, more obscure projects or future, more challenging projects that you have in mind?

When people offer me work, my inclination is to usually say yes because I am a whore. I don't really do things because I think it's going to cross me over into the mainstream. If that happens one day, great, but I'm not holding my breath.

How did you find the time between all of your other projects to do stand up? How has it gone so far and is it something you see yourself doing permanently?

It was just something I always wanted to do but never took the time to develop. So a couple years ago, I decided to devote myself to creating an hour of stand-up and touring with it. It was a fantastic experience, particularly because most of the time I was touring with my good friend Michael Showalter. We had a blast traveling all over the country, I learned a tremendous amount, and yes, I plan on returning to it when I have some more time.

Who would you love to collaborate with and is there an ideal project that you would like to do before it’s all said and done?

I'd like to do something where Will Farrell calls me up and asks me to play his Siamese twin or tennis partner or towel boy. Something like that.

Do you have any advice for any up and coming writers who may have a similar mindset or artistic pedigree that are trying to get into the business? What should those of us whose work is a little… “different” be wary of as we try to make our way up the ladder?

Just do what you do the best you can do.

Any final words before we part ways?

Stay away from the Angus Burger at McDonald's. It really sucks.
